À propos de cet audio

A hilariously intimate memoir that gets to the turbulent joys and pains of coming of age and looking for love as a Black woman in America.

In the car she’d had since high school—with the boyfriend she’d had just as long riding shotgun—Minda Honey made the cross-country drive to sunny Southern California. By the end of 2008, Obama would be president, she’d be single, and change would be upon us all.

Thousands of miles away from her family and friends in the new era of smartphones and online dating, Minda navigates the treacherous waters of early adulthood and love: confounding relationships, steamy hookups, meet-cutes, chillingly narrow escapes, and the realization that nothing plays out quite like the rom-coms she’d bet her heart on as a teenager. She was frustrated, heartbroken, resentful—and free. Kinda. From California to Colorado to her hometown in Kentucky, Minda sets out to relaunch her life outside all that defined her adolescence.

In an unflinching memoir, Minda casts her gimlet eye on her past relationships and the complicated dynamics of consent culture, gender, sexuality, race, and class. Remembering the promise and disappointments of her twenties with wisdom and compassion, this is Minda’s story of a Black woman coming into herself and changing her own world with resilience and bracing independence.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Honey's intimate debut memoir regales listeners with an account of her adventurous early adulthood years and her sometimes rocky journey to find her calling as a writer. Narrating her own work, Honey offers a biracial (Black and Filipino) woman's take on dating, workplace microaggressions, and the financial struggles she faced from her first major romantic breakup, through the start of the COVID pandemic.… Listeners will relate to the sticky situations the author gets into, as well as the moments when she realizes she's fallen short and must work to redeem herself. ”Library Journal

“Honey’s witty, frank storytelling makes this book compulsively readable. The insightful story of a Black-identified biracial woman’s search for love.” Kirkus Reviews

“A nuanced and engaging narrative of a young woman struggling through love and heartbreak.” Booklist
